Lyrics

Like a soldier with no armor
In the middle of the battle, I was broken
I was broken
It was only getting darker
In the valley of the shadow, I was hopeless
I was hopeless
I never thought that I would ever see the day
When every single chain would break
Or hear the voice of Heaven call my name
Then Christ came
Changing everything
He took my sin and shame away
Now every song
I sing will be for Him
Ever since the moment He walked in
Then Christ came
I was searching for a reason
To believe that I could ever really matter
Ever matter
And I was hoping, I was reaching
So desperate for my soul to find its Savior
Oh, I need a Savior
Then Christ came
Changing everything
He took my sin and shame away
Now every song
I sing will be for Him
Ever since the moment He walked in
Oh, then Christ came
Whoa
You are the one I prayed for
You are the one I was made for
Hallelujah
Jesus, You gave me purpose
Jesus, You told me I'm worth it
Hallelujah
I never thought that I would ever see the day
When every single chain would break
Or hear the voice of Heaven call my name
Then Christ came
Changing everything
He took my sin and shame away
Now every song
I sing will be for Him
Ever since the moment He walked in
Oh, then Christ came
Changing everything
He took my sin and shame away
Now every song
I sing will be for Him
Ever since the moment He walked in, whoa
Yeah, yeah
You are the one I prayed for
The one I prayed for
You are the one I was made for
The one I was made for, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Jesus, You gave me purpose
You gave me purpose
Jesus, You told me I'm worth it
You told me I'm worth it
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Mmm
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Then Christ came
